INTRODUCTION 


The  late  John  Dikeman,  Jr.,  a  member  of  the  legal  profes- 
sion, and  for  some  time  Clerk  of  the  City  Court  of  Brooklyn, 
was  engaged  for  some  years  previous  to  his  death  in  the  com- 
pilation of  a  work  which  he  styled  "  The  Brooklyn  Compen- 
dium." His  object  was  the  preparation  of  a  connected  record 
of  the  dates  of  the  opening  and  closing  of  the  various  streets 
and  avenues  of  the  City  of  Brooklyn,  and  the  alterations  made 
in  the  lines  thereof,  from  time  to  time,  and  the  authority  under 
which  the  same  were  done,  with  other  information  of  a  kindred 
character^  arranged  in  such  a  form  as  to  be  of  ready  and 
convenient  reference  for  those  in  search  of  such  knowledge. 
That  he  was  successful  in  this  effort,  the  testimony  of  gentle- 
men, regarded  as  competent  to  judge,  familiar  with  the  work 
while  it  was  his  private  property,  fully  attests.  Indeed,  it  was 
their  earnest  representations  of  the  value  of  the  work  to 
the  public  at  large,  which  induced  the  Common  Council  on 
the  eleventh  of  July,  1870,  to  adopt  a  resolution,  directing 
the  purchase  of  the  manuscript  and  copy  right,  for  the  sum  of 
$2,000,  and  its  publication  in  the  form  in  which  it  now 
appears. 

No  person  was  empowered  to  continue  the  Compendium 
from  the  time  the  labors  of  Mr.  Dikeman  upon  it  ceased,  and 
the  work  is  printed  therefore  precisely  as  it  is  found  in  the 
manuscript  delivered  to  the  City.

Note.— The  Commissioners  have  not  given  upon  their  maps  the  widths  of  the  streets, 
nor  the  dimensions  of  the  blocks  of  land  in  the  first  five  wards,  but  have  exhibited  the 
connection  of  said  streets,  with  the  streets  &c„  laid  out  by  them. 

t  Upon  comparing  the  Commissioners'  maps  with  the  Trustees'  map  of  the  Village  of 
Brooklyn  ^Schedule  A.)  and  vjrith  Herbert  &  Tolford's  map  of  the  City  of  Brooklyn 
(Schedule  B.)  it  will  be  perceived  that  the  names  of  John  and  Marshall  streets  on  the 
two  last  named  maps  have  been  exchanged  upon  the  Commissioners'  maps.

Patents,  Secretary's  office,  page  227. 

This  patent  was  originally  issued  June  2,  1853,  but  (the 
Land  Commissioners,  having  on  the  23d  day  of  July,  adopted 
a  new  form  of  blank),  by  a  resolution  of  the  Land  Commission- 
ers, dated  August  23,  1853,  a  new  patent  (conforming  to  new 
form  of  blank  for  water  grants),  was  issued,  which  conveys  the 
land  under  water  and  between  high  and  low  water  mark, 
situate  in  the  town  of  Bush  wick,  to  wit:  "All  that  certain 
piece  of  land  under  water  between  high  and  low  water  mark

•In  the  Letters  Patent  first  issued  June  2, 1853,  this  course  is  indicated  as  fifty-nine

FOR    1870 


I'he  Common  Counca  directed  the  publication  in  the  Manual  for  this 
year  of  the  "  Compendium,"  prepared  by  the  late  John  Dizeman,  jr. , 
and  appropriated  towards  the  purchase  of  the  copyright  of  said  work, 
the  sum  of  $1,500,  from  the  fund  set  apart  to  defray  the  cost  of  pre- 
paring and  publishing  the  Manual.  The  Board  also  directed  the  print- 
ing of  250  extra  copies  of  the  Manual  containing  the  "Compendium  " 
to  be  oflFered  for  sale  to  the  general  public.  The  absorption  of  the 
Manual  fund  for  these  objects  must  be  the  apology  of  the  compiler,  if 
any  is  needed,  for  the  paucity  of  the  matter  in  the  present  work,  and 
for  the  absence  of  the  engravings  usually  illustrating  it.  In  truth,  un- 
der the  circumstances,  the  work  this  year  is  rather  the  compilation  of 
the  Common  Council  itself  than  of  its  clerks.  The  fact  that  the  copy 
of  the  Compendium  was  not  received  until  a  late  day,  accounts  for  the 
delay  in  the  publication  of  the  work.

EPARTMENT 


OF  THE 


CITY      OF      BROOKLYN 


«  <<^»>  > 


The  provisions  of  the  act  organizing  the  Paid  Fire  Depart- 
ment, passed  May  4th,  1869,  are  so  well-known  and  their  ope- 
ration so  thoroughly  approved  by  all  parties,  that  it  is  deemed 
necessary  to  present  in  this  work  only  such  amendments  as 
were  made  by  the  Legislature  at  its  last  session,  and  which 
became  a  law  April  21,  1870.     They  are  as  follows  : 

Section  1.  The  Common  Council  of  the  city  of  Brooklyn 
shall  have  power  to  extend  the  fire  limits  of  the  said  city,  as 
now  established  by  the  act  passed  April  thirtieth,  eighteen  hun- 
dred and  sixty-six,  entitled  "  An  act  to  establish  fire  limits,  and 
for  the  more  effectual  prevention  of  fires  in  the  city  of  Brook- 
lyn," and  the  several  acts  amendatory  thereof,  and  embraced 
within  such  limits  any  portions  of  said  city  not  now  embraced 
therein  as  they  shall  deem  proper.  Such  power  may  be  exer- 
cised from  time  to  time  by  the  said  Common  Council,  but  only 
after  thirty  days'  notice  in  the  corporation  newspapers  of  their 
intention  to  do  so,  and  by  resolution  duly  adopted  by  the  Board 
of  Aldermen  and  approved  by  the  Mayor,  and  a  copy  certified 
by  the  Clerk  of  said  city,  published  for  thirty  days  successively 
in  the  corporation  papers  of  said  city.  No  extension  shall  be 
of  force  and  effect  until  such  publication  shall  be  duly  made. 

§  2.  The  powers  and  duties  devolved  by  the  acts  mentioned 
in  the  preceding  section  upon  the  Superintendent  of  Buildings 
and  the  Board  of  Trustees  of  the  Fire  Department  are  hereby 
transferred  and  committed  to  and  imposed  upon  the  Commis- 
sioners of  the  Fire  Department  of  said  city.  The  offices  of 
Superintendent  of  Buildings,  Inspector  of  Buildings  and 
Clerk,  created  by  said  acts,  are  hereby  abolished;  and  all 
the  papers,  books  and  property  pertaining  to  the  said 
offices  are  hereby  transferred  to  the  Commissioners.  The 
Commissioners  shall  from  time  to  time  designate  one  of  their 
own  number,  who  shall  be  charged  with  the  execution  of  the 
provisions  of  said  acts  in  the  territory  established  or  to  be 


231 

established  as  the  Fire  Limits  of  said  city,  as  Superintendent  of 
Buildings,  subject,  however,  to  the  general  supervision  of  the 
whole  Board  of  Fire  Commissioners,  and  subject  to  appeal  to 
said  Board  by  parties  aggrieved  in  all  cases  from  his  decision. 
The  said  Fire  Commissioners  shall  employ  such  persons  as  may 
be  necessary  to  carry  out  the  provisions  of  the  said  acts ;  pro- 
vided, however,  that  the  aggregate  amount  of  salaries  paid  such 
employes  shall  not  exceed  the  sum  of  ten  thousand  dollars  per 
annum.  For  the  purposes  of  defraying  the  expenses  and  sala- 
ries necessary  to  carry  out  the  provisions  of  this  act  for  the 
year  eighteen  hundred  and  seventy,  the  Mayor,  Comptroller 
and  City  Clerk  are  hereby  directed  to  borrow  upon  temporary 
loan  the  sura  of  six  thousand  dollars.  The  Joint  Board  of 
Supervisors  and  Aldermen  shall  cause  to  be  levied  and  collected 
and  paid  in  the  year  eighteen  hundred  and  seventy -one,  such 
sum  as  shall  be  necessary  to  pay  the  interest  on  the  money  so 
borrowed,  and  in  such  year  such  sum  as  shall  be  necessary  to 
pay  the  principal  of  the  money  so  borrowed,  and  the  Treasurer 
shall  immediately  apply  the  money  so  collected  and  paid  to 
him  toward  the  payment  of  the  interest  and  principal  of  the 
money  so  borrowed,  raised  for  the  expenses  and  salaries  before 
mentioned,  for  the  year  eighteen  hundred  and  seventy-one  and 
every  year  thereafter,  shall  be  raised,  levied  and  collected  in 
the  same  manner  as  the  other  expenses  of  said  city  are  raised, 
levied  and  collected.  All  moneys  accruing  from  the  violation 
of  the  provisions  of  said  act,  after  deducting  the  expenses  of 
collection,  shall  be  paid  into  the  City  Treasury  by  the  said 
Commissioner  acting  as  Superintendent  as  aforesaid,  who  is 
hereby  authorized  to  collect  and  receive  the  same,  in  the  name 
of  the  said  Board  of  Fire  Commissioners. 

§  3.  The  terms  of  office  of  the  Fire  Commissioners  of  the  said 
city,  appointed  under  and  in  pursuance  of  the  act  entitled  "An 
act  to  reorganize  the  Fire  Department  of  the  city  of  Brooklyn," 
psssed  May  fourth,  eighteen  hundred  and  sixty- nine,  are  hereby 
reduced,  so  that  those  two  Commissioners  who  were  appointed 
for  six  years  shall  hold  for  four  years  only  from  the  time  of 
their  appointment;  and  those  two  Commissioners  appointed 
for  eight  years  shall  hold  for  six  years  only  from  the  time  of 
their  appointment.  At  the  expiration  of  the  terms  of  said 
Commissioners  respectively,  successors  shall  be  nominated  by 
the  Mayor  and  appointed  by  the  Board  of  Aldermen,  to  hold 
their  offices  for  five  years,  and  until  their  successors  shall  be  in 
like  manner  appointed  and  duly  qualified.  Vacancies  occurring 
in  such  office  by  death,  resignation  or  otherwise,  shall  be  filled 
in  manner  as  aforesaid  for  the  unexpired  term. 

§  4.  The  Common  Council  of  the  city  of  Brooklyn,  upon  the 
recommendation  of  the  Commissioners  of  the  Fire  Department 


232 

of  said  city,  may  authorize  the  increase  of  the  force,  hose,  land, 
houses  and  apparatus  of  the  said  Fire  Department,  from  time  to 
time,  as  it  may  deem  proper ;  the  expenses  of  such  increase 
shall  be  provided  for  in  the  same  manner  as  the  other  expenses 
of  said  city  ai*e  raised,  levied  and  collected. 

§  5.  Within  thirty  days  after  the  passage  of  this  act,  the  said 
Fire  Commissioners  shall  file  with  the  Comptroller  of  the  city 
of  Brooklyn  a  list  of  all  real  estate,  also  a  list  of  all  appai'atus 
under  their  control,  in  pursuance  of  section  twelve  of  the  act 
entitled  "  An  act  to  reorganize  the  Fire  Department  of  the  city 
of  Brooklyn,"  passed  May  fourth,  eighteen  hundred  and  sixty- 
nine,  not  required  by  them  for  the  pm-pose  of  the  said  Fire 
Department ;  and  the  said  property  shall  then  be  disposed  of 
as  said  Fire  Commissioners  may  direct,  and  the  proceeds  there- 
of shall  be  paid  into  the  treasury  of  said  city,  as  a  fund  to  the 
credit  of  the  Fire  Department  of  said  city,  and  are  hereby 
appropriated  for  the  purpose  of  purchasing  new  hose  and  appa- 
ratus, and  for  building  and  repairing  engine  houses,  as  may  be 
required  by  the  said  Commissioners. 

§  6.  The  moneys  appropriated  and  authorized  to  be  raised  for 
the  purposes  of  this  act,  or  which  may  hereafter  be  raised  for 
the  purposes  of  said  Fire  Department,  shall  be  deposited  with 
the  Treasm*er  of  the  city  of  Brooklyn,  as  a  fund  to  the  credit  of 
the  Fire  Department  of  said  city.  The  Treasurer  of  said 
department  shall,  on  the  first  day  of  each  month,  make  his  draft 
for  the  monthly  expenses  of  said  department  upon  the  Mayor 
and  Comptroller  of  said  city ;  and  no  moneys  shall  be  otherwise 
drawn  from  the  City  Treasury  on  account  of  such  Fire  Depart-

necessary  by  him,  relative  to  the  removal  thereof;  and  in  case 
of  the  neglect  or  refusal  on  the  part  of  the  possessor  of  such 
combustible  materials,  or  the  owner  or  occupant  of  said  premi-

REPORT 

OP  THE 


The  following  extracts  are  made  from  the  last  report  of  the 
Park  Commissioners : 

The  success  of  our  Park  enterprise,  now  so  generally  admit- 
ted, is  believed  to  have  contributed  largely  to  the  production  of 
the  increased  values  to  which  the  Commissioners  have  referred. 
On  reference  to  the  assessment  rolls  of  the  City's  property, 
they  find  that  since  the  commencement  of  active  operations  on 
the  Park,  there  has  been  added  to  her  tax  list  the  large 
amount  of  $77,232,410,  the  Board  of  Assessors  having  felt 
themselves  justified  by  its  very  obvious  increase,  in  adding  25 
per  cent,  to  the  list  of  her  taxable  property  for  the  year  1869. 
The  amount  of  such  property  is  now  $196,624,110,  while  in  the 
rural  districts  it  is  $11,808,933,  making  the  total  amount  now 
standing  on  the  Assessor's  books,  $208,433,043 ;  nearly  two- 
fifths  thereof  having  been  added  since  the  period  above  referred 
to.  It  should  be  observed,  also,  in  order  to  a  proper  apprecia- 
tion of  these  facts,  that  a  large  portion  of  this  increase,  to  wit : 
the  sum  of  $32,820,059,  has  arisen  in  the  wards  immediately 
surrounding  the  Park,  including  the  town  of  Flatbush,  thereby 
increasing  the  city's  annual  income  nearly  a  million  of  dollars. 

It  *  in  *  *  *  * 

The  Commissioners  have  claimed  for  Brooklyn  the  advantage 
of  being  a  more  desirable  place  of  residence  in  many  respects 
than  New  York,  and  they  think  it  can  be  readily  shown  that 
she  possesses  finer  sites  for  city  residences,  in  connection  with 
the  refined  enjoyments  of  a  Park,  than  can  be  found  in  that 
city.  She  has  even  now,  under  her  own  conti'ol,  a  district  of 
country,  east  of  Flatbush  Avenue,  in  the  highest  degree 
attractive,  and  which,  if  properly  improved,  would  open  up 
another  large  district  southeily  and  easterly  therefrom,  to  the 
immense  advantage  of  our  city,  both  socially  and  financially. 
But  in  order  to  develop  these  advantages  fully,  they  think  it 
will  be  necessary  to  revise  the  whole  street  plan  of  this  quarter 
of  the  city,  while  it  is  yet  under  easy  municipal  control,  and  to 
lay  it  out  anew  in  such  a  way  as  will  not  only  be  much  more 
convenient  and  useful  to  the  public,  than  it  would  be  under  any 
other  plan  yet  suggested,  but  must  make  it  perfectly  apparent 


253 

that  we  have,  in  Brooklyn,  in  close  connection  with  oiir  Park, 
more  desirable  places  of  residence  than  can  be  found  elsewhere 
in  any  city.  The  lower  portion  of  the  map  which  is  annexed 
to  this  report  will  further  explain  this  last  suggestion  of  the 
Commissioners,  while  it  also  indicates  the  location  and  extent 
of  land  which  they  propose  to  sell. 

If  sdld,  it  would  of  course  be  with  proper  restrictions  in 
regard  to  the  character  of  the  improvements  to  be  made  upon 
it,  and  with  suitable  reservations  of  streets  and  avenues.  The 
Commissioners  intend  to  reserve,  besides  the  avenues  which 
they  propose  to  lay  out  with  wide  planted  borders,  and  the 
Reservoir  ground,  with  an  ornamental  garden  around  it,  a  body 
of  land  two  hundred  and  sixty  feet  in  depth  fronting  the  Park, 
to  be  held  by  the  city  as  a  site  for  public  buildings  and  institu- 
tions, as  stated  in  their  last  annual  report. 

They  do  not  propose  to  interrupt,  but  to  improve  and  ampli- 
fy all  the  dii'ect  lines  of  communication  through  the  district  east 
of  the  Park,  retaining  for  Park  purposes  every  foot  of  land 
from  which  a  view  of  the  bay  or  of  the  sea  can  be  had.  But 
after  making  all  these  reservations,  there  will  still  remain  a 
body  of  over  one  hundred  acres  of  land,  to  be  disposed  of  with 
such  restrictions  as  will  insure  the  erection  upon  it  of  strictly 
first  class  dwelling  houses.  A  former  report  estimated  the  pro- 
ceeds of  such  sale  at  two  and  a  half  millions  of  dollars ;  but  the 
Commissioners  are  advised  that  their  estimate  was  too  low  by 
at  least  half  a  million  of  dollars.  If  to  this  is  added  a  million 
for  its  improvement  when  retained  as  a  Park,  which  the 
experience  of  the  Commissioners  in  dealing  with  ground  of  a 
similar  character  on  the  other  side  of  the  avenue,  induces  them 
to  believe  would  be  a  fair  estimate  of  the  expense,  the  differ- 
ence to  the  city  between  selling  and  retaining  this  land,  will 
amount  to  at  least  four  millions  of  dollars.  But  this  is  not  all : 
for  if  we  double  the  price  of  the  land  as  a  fair  representation  of 
the  value  of  the  buildings  which  would  probably  be  erected 
upon  it,  we  shall  add  immensely  to  the  taxable  property  of  our 
city,  besides  increasing  her  annual  revenue  by  at  least  half  a 
million  of  dollars.  The  general  views  upon  the  subject  of  a 
sale  here  presented,  were  more  fully  expressed  by  the  President 
of  this  Commission,  at  a  public  discussion  of  the  matter  to 
which  the  Park  Commissioners  invited  their  fellow  citizens  last 
spring  at  the  Court  House. 

******* 

During  the  past  season,  the  work  of  construction  has  gone 
forward  upon  all  the  Parks  under  the  control  of  the  Commis- 
sioners, with  as  much  rapidity  as  was  practicable,  and  they 
respectfully  refer  to  the  reports  of  their  landscape  Architects 
and  Engineers,  which  are  hereto  annexed,  for  a  full  detail  of 
the  various  operations  in  which  they  have  been  engaged.    The 


254 

whole  area  under  treatment,  thus  far,  is  352  acres  in  Prospect 
Park,  and  30  acres  on  Washington  Pai'k.  255  acres  of  the 
former  Park,  consisting  of  woodland,  shrubbery  and  meadow, 
with  the  intervening  roads,  walks  and  waters,  are  now  com- 
plete. The  finished  drives  extend  over  a  space  of  five  miles  in 
length,  and  the  bridle  paths  an  equal  distance.  Of  finished 
walks,  we  have  over  five  miles,  with  four  additional  miles  in 
progress.  And  the  construction  of  the  whole  design,  with  a 
slight  exception,  may  now  be  said  to  be  complete  east  of  a  line 
drawn  through  the  middle  of  the  Park.  Work  is  more  or  less 
advanced  over  the  entire  residue  of  the  Park,  and  the  greater 
part  of  it  can,  in  the  opinion  of  the  landscape  architects,  be 
readily  placed  in  a  condition  suitable  for  public  use,  in  the 
course  of  another  season. 

One  of  the  most  interesting  incidents  of  the  year's  progress 
has  been  the  completion  of  the  great  well  and  water  works 
connected  therewith.  A  full  description  of  this  fine  specimen 
of  engineering  skill,  and  of  the  very  satisfactory  results  which 
have  been  obtained,  will  be  found  in  the  able  report  of  Mr. 
Martin,  the  Engineer-in-Chief.  The  Board  have  now  no  doubt 
that  the  supply  of  pure  spring  water  from  this  source  will  be 
amply  sufficient  to  keep  the  extensive  ornamental  waters  of 
this  Park  in  a  good  healthy  condition,  independent  of  any 
other  supply. 

The  work  on  Washington  Park  has  been  diligently  prosecut- 
ed, and  its  interior  improvement  is  now  so  nearly  complete  as 
to  justify  the  erection  of  the  stone  wall  which  is  now  engaging 
the  attention  of  the  architects,  and  will  speedily  enclose  this 
popular  resort.  A  tasteful  design  for  the  vault  to  be  erected  in 
this  Pai-k,  for  the  reception  of  the  remains  of  the  Prison  Ship 
Martyrs,  has  been  prepared  and  is  under  advisement  by  the 
Board.  The  matter  will  continue  to  receive  that  degree  of 
consideration  which  it  so  justly  deserves. 

Tompkins  Park,  which  is  laid  out  in  a  rapidly  growing 
quarter  of  the  city,  was  recently  placed  under  the  charge  of  the 
Board;  but  no  provision  seems  to  have  been  made  for  its 
improvement ;  and  the  Commissioners  have  consequently  been 
unable  to  do  anything  further  than  to  protect  the  property  from 
depredation.  They  trust,  however,  that  authority  will  be 
given  by  the  present  Legislature,  to  raise  money  sufficient  to 
improve  this  Park  in  a  style  corresponding  with  the  other 
small  Parks  of  Brooklyn. 

The  Parade  Ground  is  now  in  complete  order,  and  has  during 
the  last  season  witnessed  some  of  the  finest  displays  of  our 
citizen  soldiery  ever  exhibited  in  Kings  County.  In  addition  to 
the  trees  planted  and  roads  worked,  a  substantial  shelter-house 
with  suitable  accommodations  for  the  military  on  parade  days, 
has  been  erected  on  the  ground ;  the  main  building  being  forty 


255 

feet  square,  with  wings  extended  to  the  distance  of  sixty-four 
feet  on  each  side. 

During  the  past  year  nothing  of  any  importance  has  been 
done  towards  the  improvement  of  the  City  Park.  It  is  in  fact, 
becoming  every  day  more  evident,  as  the  superior  attractions  of 
Washington  Park  are  being  developed,  that  the  City  Park  is 
not  likely  for  some  time  to  come  to  be  used  to  any  extent  as  a 
pleasure  ground.  When  the  population  of  that  quarter  of  the 
city  shall  have  crowded  Washington  Park  beyond  its  capacity, 
and  shall  require  greater  Park  facilities  than  ai'e  now  afforded 
by  its  beautiful  slopes  and  hills,  or  when  our  city's  debt  shall 
have  been  brought  within  such  easy  and  reasonable  proportions 
as  shall  cease  to  be  a  serious  burden  to  our  tax-payers,  the  dis.- 
cussion  of  the  best  method  of  fitting  up  the  CJity  Park  as  a 
place  of  amusement  may  be  resumed  with  advantage ;  but  at 
present  the  Commissioners  deem  it  unwise  and  impolitic  to 
expend  upon  it  that  amount  of  money  and  labor  which  would 
be  required  to  render  it  at  all  suitable  for  such  a  purpose. 

It  may  be  many  years  before  the  public  accomodation  will 
justify  such  an  expenditure :  but  in  the  meantime  the  property 
may  and  should  be  put  to  some  profitable  use.  Its  advantages 
as  a  market  site  were  set  forth  in  a  former  report  of  these 
Commissioners,  and  need  not  here  be  repeated.  Public  opinion 
seems  fully  to  have  endorsed  their  recommendation  to  use  it  for 
the  purposes  of  a  general  public  market;  and  they  hoped  that 
some  action  of  the  Common  Council  would  ere  this  have  result- 
ed in  the  establishment  of  that  much  needed  public  accommo- 
dation. But  no  such  movement  having  been  made,  they  think 
they  should  no  longer  delay  to  act  upon  that  requirement  of 
the  law  which  placed  this  Park  under  their  supervision,  and 
renders  it  obligatory  upon  them  to  suggest  to  the  Legislature 
such  further  legislation  in  regard  to  all  the  Brooklyn  Parks  as 
they  shall  deem  advisable. 

The  unveiling  of  the  Lincoln  statue  erected  upon  the  Plaza 
of  Prospect  Park  by  the  dollar  subscriptions  of  our  people 
under  the  management  of  the  War  Fund  Committee  of  Kings 
County,  formed  an  epoch  in  the  history  of  our  city,  as  well  as 
of  om'  Park,  and  gave  occasion  to  an  interestiog  display  of  taste 
and  of  patriotism.  A.  A.  Low,  Esq.,  officiated  as  the  presiding 
officer,  and  delivered  the  opening  address ;  after  which  the 
statue  was  duly  presented  by  James  P.  Wallace,  Esq.,  on  behalf 
the  Committee,  and  was  received  by  the   President   of  this 

Commission  in  terms  befitting  the  occasion. 

******* 

It  will  be  observed,  also,  that  the  ftmd  for  the  construc- 
tion of  Prospect  Park  has  now  reached  the  limit  assigned  to  it 
by  the  law  of  1868,  and  as  an  application  must  be  made  to  the 
Legislature  for  additional  means  with  which  to  finish  this  Park, 


it  may  not  be  improper  to  glance  at  the  history  of  past  legisla- 
tion, as  connected  therewith.  The  law  of  1860,  which  organized 
the  first  Board  of  Commissioners  and  gave  form  and  feature  to 
the  original  Park  enterprise  of  our  city,  directed  that  no  plan 
for  the  improvement  of  the  land  thereby  placed  under  their 
charge  should  be  adopted  or  undertaken,"  of  which  the  entire 
expense  when  funded  would  require  for  the  payment  of  its 
annual  interest  a  greater  sum  than  $30,000  per  annum.  This 
amount  was  slightly  modified  by  the  amended  Act  of  the  next 
year,  which  limited  the  cost  of  improvement  to  $500,000,  and 
was  adapted  to  the  simple  and  inexpensive  style  of  improve- 
ment originally  suggested  for  this  Park.  The  restriction,  of 
course,  applied  only  to  the  comparatively  small  portions  of  land 
lying  in  the  vicinity  of  Flatbush  avenue,  as  contemplated 
by  the  Act  of  1860,  and  had  no  reference  to  the  enlarged  Park 
which  was  subsequently  placed  under  the  charge  of  the  reor- 
ganized Board.  In  their  first  expenditures  of  money  the  Com- 
missioners confined  themselves  to  this  amount  so  long  as  they 
were  operating  upon  land  within  the  original  Park  boundaries ; 
but  by  the  Act  of  1866,  which  extended  the  Park  area  to  very 
nearly  its  present  dimensions — 228  acres  having  been  added — a 
new  and  entirely  different  style  of  improvement  was  adopted, 
requiring  the  expenditure  of  more  money.  The  former  restric- 
tion was  acco:^;dingly  removed  and  the  Commissioners  were 
authorized  to  expend  such  reasonable  amounts  for  improvement 
as  should  be  found  necessary,  and  the  city  authorities  were 
directed  to  issue  bonds  and  furnish  means  upon  the  requisition 
of  this  Board,  in  the  same  manner  as  they  had  been  dii-ected  to 
do  under  the  former  Act.  This  arrangement  continued  until 
1868,  when  the  improvement  fund  was  limited  to  three  millions 
of  dollars,  including  the  bonds  which  had  been  previously 
issued. 

This  limit,  as  we  have  said,  has  now  been  reached ;  but  a 
very  considerable  portion  of  the  Park,  including  the  fifty  acres 
recently  annexed,  yet  remains  to  be  improved,  and  the  Com- 
missioners will  be  obliged  to  suspend  further  operations  until 
the  Legislature  shall  have  provided  means  for  its  completion. 
As  to  the  exact  amount  which  will  yet  be  required  for  this  pur- 
pose, the  Commissioners  can  make  no  very  definite  statement. 
A  fine  work  of  art,  such  as  the  regulation  and  embellishment  of 
a  Park  of  this  description,  cannot  properly  be  executed  by  con- 
tract, but  in  the  judgment  of  the  Commissioners  the  amount 
required  will  not  exceed  two  millions  of  dollars. 

Before  closing  their  report  it  may  not  be  uninteresting  to  the 
taxpayers  of  our  city  for  the  Commissioners  to  state  the  extent 
of  the  bm-don  which  Park  enterprise  now  imposes  upon  our 
city.  The  amount  awarded  for  land  first  purchased  tor  Pros- 
pect Pai'k,  on  the  15th  of  June,  1864,  including  expenses,  as 


257 

appears  from  the  official   report  filed  in  the  County  Clerk's 

office,  was $1,387,606  27 

For  the  second  purchase  on  the  5th  Febuary, 

1866 158,558  40 

For  the  third  purchase  on  the  27th  May,  1867,  752,745  01 

And  for  the  fourth  and  last  purchase,  on  the 

13th  of  April,  1869 1,705,248  32 

Total $4,004,158  01 

From  this  deduct  the  amount  awarded  to  the 
city  for  a  strip  of  land,  thirty  feet  wide, 
taken  from  the  Park  for  the  widening  of 
Vanderbilt  avenue,  and  paid  into  the 
sinking  fund  to  be  applied  in  the  redemp- 
tion of  Park  bonds 28,509  60 

And  the  present  cost  of  all  the  land  pur- 
chased will  be S3,975,648  41 

If  to  this  we  add  the  amount  authorized  to  be 

expended  for  improvement 3,000,000  00 

The  total  indebtedness  of  the  city  at  this 

time,  on  account  of  this  Park,  will  be $6,975,648  41 

But  no  solicitude  need  be  felt  by  our  citizens  on  the  score  of 
expense.  In  a  merely  pecuniary  point  of  view,  and  without 
regard  to  the  immense  social  and  moral  consideration  involved 
in  the  possession  and  use  of  such  a  Park,  the  acquisition  of  the 
property  is  proving,  as  we  have  shown,  a  splendid  inves};ment 
for  the  city;  and  every  dollar  now  expended  upon  it  will  add 
to  its  permanent  value.  This  property  has  cost,  say  seven  mil- 
lions of  dollars ;  but  if  sold  to-day  it  would  realize  more  than 
enough  to  pay  the  whole  debt  of  the  city  ;  and  long  before  the 
bonds  issued  for  its  purchase  shall  have  matured,  it  will,  in  all 
probability,  be  worth  ten  times  its  cost,  besides  giving  an 
impetus  to  property  in  its  neighborhood  that  will  afford  a  tax 
more  than  sufficient  to  pay  the  interest  on  its  cost,  and  liquidate 
the  entire  debt  at  maturity,  without  adding  anything  to  the 
general  taxation.

The  restoration  of  municipal  rights  to  the  city  of  Brooklyn, 
freeing  her  from  the  partial  and  arbitrary  control  of  a  more 
powerful  neighbor,  and  at  the  same  time  enabling  her  to 
declare  to  what  extent  her  taxation  shall  go  for  general  and 
special  purposes,  was  inaugurated  in  the  following  re-organiz- 
ing of  the  Police  Department.    Its  sections  are  as  follows : 

Section  1.  The  City  of  Brooklyn  shall  hereafter  constitute  a 
separate  police  district,  and  a  police  department  is  hereby  es- 
tablished therein,  with  the  powers  and  duties  in  this  act  pre- 
scribed. 

§  2.  The  management  and  control  of  said  department,  sub- 
ject to  the  provisions  of  this  act,  are  vested  in  a  Board  of  Com- 
missioners, to  be  known  and  designated  *'  The  Board  of  Police 
for  the  City  of  Brooklyn,"  and  to  be  composed  of  the  Mayor 
and  two  other  persons,  to  be  appointed  as  in  the  next  section 
provided. 

§  3.  Upon  the  passage  of  this  act,  the  Mayor  of  the  said  city 
shall  nominate  and  the  Board  of  Aldermen  appoint  two  discreet 
and  respectable  citizens  of  said  city  as  Commissioners  of  Police, 
who  shall  respectively  hold  their  oflSces  for  four  years  from  and 
after  the  thirty-first  day  of  December,  next  succeeding  their 
appointment,  and  until  their  successors  have  duly  qualified. 
In  case  of  the  death,  resignation,  removal  from  the  said  city, 
removal  from  office  or  other  inability  to  serve  of  the  said  Com- 
missioners, or  either  of  them,  during  the  term  for  which  they 
shall  be  appointed,  the  vacancy  or  vacancies  shall  be  filled  for 
the  balance  of  the  term,  upon  the  nomination  of  the  Mayor, 
and  confirmation  thereof  by  the  Board  of  Aldermen  of  said  city. 
Before  entering  upon  the  duties  of  their  office  the  said  Com- 
missioners shall  severally  take  and  subscribe  the  oath  of  office 
prescribed  by  the  Constitution  of  this  State,  and  file  the  same 
in  the  office  of  the  clerk  of  the  County  of  Kings.  The  said 
Commissioners  may  be  removed  fiom  office  by  the  Supreme 
Court  for  neglect  ol  duty,  malfeasance  in  office,  bribery,  or  cor- 
ruption ;  but  no  removal  shall  be  made  except  upon  charges, 
nor  unless  the  party  shall  have  been  served  with  a  copy  of  the 
charges  and  have  had  an  opportunity  to  be  heard.    The  said 


263 

Commissioners  shall  each  receive  for  his  services  a  salary  of 
three  thousand  dollars  a  year,  to  be  paid  out  of  the  city  treasury 
in  the  same  manner  as  the  salaries  of  other  officers  of  said  city 
are  paid.  Any  Commissioner  who  shall,  during  his  term  of 
office,  accept  or  hold  any  other  public  office  of  emolument,  or 
who  shall  during  his  term  of  office  be  publicly  nominated  for 
any  office  elective  by  the  people,  and  shall  not,  within  ten  days 
succeeding  the  same,  publicly  decline  the  said  nomination,  shall 
in  that  case  be  deemed  thereby  to  have  vacated  his  office,  and 
the  same  shall  be  vacated  accordingly. 

§  4.  The  Commissioners  shall  divide  said  city  into  precincts, 
not  exceeding  one  precinct  to  each  thirty-six  of  the  patrolmen 
authorized  to  be  appointed.  They  may  also  establish  sub-pre- 
cincts and  assign  two  sergeants,  two  doormen  and  as  many 
patrolmen  as  they  may  deem  sufficient  to  each  sub-precinct,  and 
shall  appoint  a  telegraph  operator  who  shall  be  assigned  to 
duty  by  the  chief  of  police.  They  shall  appoint  as  many  cap- 
tains of  police  as  there  may  be  precincts  and  asssign  one  cap- 
tain and  as  many  sergeants  and  patrolmen  as  they  shall  deem 
sufficient  to  each  precinct. 

§  5.  The  police  force  shall  consist  of  a  chief  of  police,  cap- 
tains, sergeants,  and  patrolmen,  who  shall  be  appointed  by  the 
Commissioners.  The  number  of  sergeants  shall  not  exceed 
four  for  each  precinct,  and  one  for  each  special  squad ;  and  the 
number  of  patrolmen  shall  not  exceed  the  present  number  now 
doing  duty  in  said  city,  unless  the  common  council  of  the  City 
of  Brooklyn,  shall,  by  resolution,  authorize  a  greater  number, 
in  which  case  they  shall  not  exceed  the  number  fixed  in  such 
resolutions ;  and  such  resolutions  may  be  passed  by  the  Com- 
mon Council  from  time  to  time  as  that  body  may  deem  expe- 
dient. The  Commissioners  shall  fill  all  vacancies  in  the  police 
force  as  often  as  thej  occur. 

§  6.  The  said  Board  shall  have  power  to  pass  such  rules,  re- 
gulations and  orders  for  the  government  of  the  police  force  as 
they  may  deem  proper.  They  shall  promulgate  all  regulations 
and  orders  to  the  force  through  the  chief  of  police,  who  shall 
have  the  direction  and  control  of  said  fprce,  subject  to  the  rules, 
regulations  and  orders  of  the  Board;  but  in  times  of  peril,  dan- 
ger, riot  or  disorder,  or  apprehension  thereof,  the  chief  of  po- 
lice and  the  police  force  shall  be  subordinate  to  the  Mayor, 
and  obey  his  orders  and  directions  tor  the  time  being,  any 
thing  in  this  act  contained  to  the  contrary  notwithstanding. 

§  7.  One  of  the  said  Commissioners  shall  be  designated  by 
the  said  Board  as  its  president,  who  shall  preside  at  the  meet- 
ings of  the  Board,  and  in  case  of  the  absence  or  disability  of 
the  chief  of  police,  or  vacancy  in  that  office,  shall  possess  all  the 
powers  and  perform  all  the  duties  thereof,  for  the  time  being, 


264 

and  the  other  Commissioner  shall  be  the  treasurer.  The  treas- 
urer shall  execute  a  bond  to  the  City  of  Brooklyn,  with  one  or 
more  sureties,  in  a  penalty  of  twenty  thousand  dollars,  condi- 
tioned for  the  faithful  discharge  of  his  duties  as  such  treasurer. 
The  sureties  shall  justify  before  a  Justice  of  the  Supreme  Court, 
and  the  bond  shall  be  approved  by  the  Mayor. 

§  8.  There  shall  be  appointed  by  the  Board  a  chief  clerk,  a 
deputy  clerk,  a  treasurer's  book-keeper,  two  surgeons,  a  drill 
captain,  two  doormen  for  each  station-house,  a  property  clerk, 
a  stenographic  clerk  and  a  clerk  to  the  chief  of  police. 

§  9.  All  the  property,  station-houses  and  effects  within  the 
City  of  Brooklyn  belonging  to  or  used  by  the  metropolitan  po- 
lice shall,  upon  the  passage  of  this  act,  vest  in  the  City  of 
Brooklyn,  for  the  use  and  pm'poses  of  the  police  department  by 
this  act  established ;  and  the  said  Commissioners  are  hereby 
authorized  and  empowered  immediately  on  entering  upon  the 
duties  of  the  office  to  take  possession  of  the  same  for  such  use 
and  purposes,  and  to  hold  the  same  subject  to  the  control  and 
superior  title  therein  of  the  City  of  Brooklyn.  The  Common 
Council  shall  provide  such  office  and  business  accommodations 
as  shall  be  requsite  for  the  transaction  of  the  business  of  the 
said  Commissioners  and  its  officers,  and  provide  such  new  sta- 
tion-houses and  furniture  therefor  as  may  from  time  to  time  be 
required,  upon  the  recommendation  of  said  Commissioners. 

§  10.  The  members  of  the  police  force  and  the  different  offi- 
cers named,  shall  respectively  receive  the  following  compensa- 
tion per  year  for  their  services :  the  chief  of  police  three  thou- 
sand and  five  hundred  dollars ;  each  captain  of  police  fifteen 
hundred  dollars ;  each  patrolman  one  thousand  dollars ;  the 
chief  clerk,  who  shall  also  be  Clerk  of  the  Board,  two  thousand

dollars;  the  property  clerk  twelve  hundred  dollars;  the  steno- 
graphic clerk  fifteen  hundred  dollars;  the  treasurer's  book- 
keeper fifteen  hundred  dollars;  the  clerk  to  the  chief  of  police 
one  thousand  dollars  ;  the  drill  captain  twelve  hundred  dollars ; 
each  doorman  eight  hundred  dollars.  But  the  rate  of  pay 
herein  established  shall  not  take  effect  until  the  first  day  of  Jan- 
uary, eighteen  hundred  and  seventy-one,  and  until  that  time  the 
members  of  the  police  department  hereby  created  shall  be  paid 
the  same  as  similar  officers  of  the  metropolitan  police  are  now 
paid.  No  members  of  the  police  force,  commissioner,  officer  or 
other  member  of  the  department,  shall,  under  any  pretense 
whatever,  receive  or  share  in  any  present,  gift,  fee  or  emolu- 
ment for  services  as  a  member  of  the  police,  additional  to  his 
regular  salary  or  compensation. 

§  11.  The  salai'ies  and  compensation  of  the  members  of  the 
department  shall  be  paid  monthly  by  the  ti'easurer,  who  shall 


265

officers  of  the  city  shall  cause  the  necessary  warrant  to  be  drawn

This  branch  of  our  local  judicial  system  has  advanced  to  a 
position  equal  in  authority  and  usefulness  to  the  Supreme 
Court.  The  act  re-organizing  it,  and  under  which  it  is  now 
operated  was  passed  April  28,  1870,  and  is  as  follows : 

Section  1.  Two  additional  Judges  of  the  City  Court  of 
Brooklyn  shall  be  chosen  by  the  electors  of  that  city  at  the 
time  provided  by  law  for  the  first  election  of  Judges  of  the 
Court  of  Appeals  undvsr  the  sixth  article  of  the  Constitution. 
The  persons  voted  for  by  any  elector  shall  be  upon  one  ballot, 
which  shall  be  separate  from  the  ballot  for  Judges  of  the 
Court  of  Appeals.  The  ballot  shall  be  indorsed  "  City  Court," 
and  the  inspectors  and  canvassers  holding  the  election  in  said 
city  for  the  said  Judges  of  the  Court  of  Appeals  shall  be  the 
inspectors  and  canvassers  of  such  election,  and  shall  keep  a 
separate  box  in  which  the  ballots  shall  be  deposited.  The  two 
persons  receiving  the  highest  number  of  votes  shall  be  deemed 
chosen  at  such  election.  The  votes  shall  be  canvassed  as  now 
provided  by  law  in  reference  to  other  elections  in  said  city, 
and  in  all  other  respects  the  provisions  of  the  act  providing  for 
the  said  first  election  of  the  Judges  of  the  Court  of  Appeals 
shall  be  applied,  so  far  as  applicable,  to  the  election  in  this  sec- 
tion provided  tor.  The  official  terms  of  the  Judges  elected 
under  this  act  shall  commence  on  the  first  Monday  of  July  next, 
on  or  before  which  day  they  shall  take  the  oath  of  office. 

§  2.  The  second  section  of  the  act  entitled  "An  act  to  estab-

8.  For  the  admeasurement  of  dower.

The  following  sectioDS  were  exacted  May  5tli,  1870,  by  the 
Legislature,  and  is  now  the  charter  under  which  the  Water 
Board  conduct  their  operations : 

Section  1.  The  length  of  the  terms  of  office  of  the  several 
persons  appointed  to  act  as  Water  and  Sewerage  Commission- 
ers of  the  City  of  Brooklyn,  under  and  pursuant  to  the  act 
passed  the  second  day  of  April,  eighteen  hundred  and  sixty- 
nine,  entitled  "An  act  to  recognize  the  Board  of  Water  and 
Sewerage  Commissioners,  and  to  provide  for  the  repaying,  re- 
pairing and  cleaning  the  streets  of  said  city,  by  said  Board,"  is 
hereby  fixed  so  that  the  terms  of  the  two  of  such  appointees  ex- 
piring in  the  years  eighteen  hundred  and  seventy-nine,  and 
eighteen  hundred  and  seventy-seven,  according  to  such  act, 
shall  both  expire  on  the  first  Monday  of  July,  eighteen  hundred 
and  seventy-four.  The  term  of  the  appointee  expiring  in 
eighteen  hundred  and  seventy-three,  shall  expire  on  the  first 
Monday  of  July  in  the  said  year ;  and  the  term  of  the  ap- 
pointee expiring  in  the  year  eighteen  hundred  and  seventy-five, 
shall,  upon  the  passage  of  this  act  cease  and  determine.  From 
and  after  the  passage  of  this  act,  the  said  Board  shall  consist  of 
three  members  only.  On  the  first  Monday  of  June,  in  the 
years  on  which  the  terms  of  office  of  said  Commissioners  shall 
expire,  the  Mayor  shall  nominate  a  suitable  person  as  one  of 
the  said  Commissioners  to  the  Board  of  Aldermen  of  said  city, 
who  shall  confirm  or  reject  the  same,  and  similar  nomination 
and  action  shall  be  had  by  the  Mayor  and  Board  of  Aldermen 
as  often  as  may  be  necessary,  until  an  appointment  shall  be 
made.  From  and  after  the  expiration  of  the  terms  as  aforesaid, 
the  person  or  persons  appointed  as  hereinbefore  provided,  shall 
hold  their  terms  for  five  years  from  the  first  Monday  of  July 
thereafter,  and  until  their  successors,  as  herein  provided,  shall 
be  appointed  and  duly  qualified.  All  vacancies  occurring  in 
the  said  Boai'd  by  death,  resignation,  removal  from  the  city  or 
removal  from  office,  shall  be  filled  by  the  Mayor  and  Board  of 
Aldermen  in  the  manner  aforesaid  for  the  unexpired  term  so 
vacated. 

§  2.  The  sixth  section  of  the  said  act  is  hereby  amended  so 
as  to  read  as  follows: 


281 

§  6.  The  said  board  shall  have  exclusive  power  within  said 
city  to  cause  streets  to  be  repaired,  and  crosswalks  to  be  relaid, 
and  the  expense  thereof  shall  be  a  general  city  charge  ;  but  in 
no  one  year  shall  such  expense  exceed  the  amount  appropriated 
for  that  purpose  by  the  Joint  Board  of  City  Supervisors  and 
Common  Council  of  the  said  city.  The  said  Board  of  Commis- 
sioners shall  also  have  exclusive  power  within  said  city  to 
cause  streets  to  be  regraded  and  repaved  ;  but  with  no  other 
kind  of  pavement  than  that  existing  thereon  at  the  time  the 
same  shall  be  proposed  to  be  repaved,  unless  upon  the  applica- 
tion in  writing  of  a  majority  of  the  owners  of  the  land  front- 
ing on  the  street  or  part  of  the  street  so  proposed  to  be  repaved, 
asking  for  another  and  different  kind  of  pavement,  and  specify- 
ing the  particular  kind  of  pavement  the  petitioners  desire,  or 
expressly  submitting  the  same  to  the  judgment  of  the  Commis- 
sioners, and  upon  such  application  only  the  said  Board  of  Com- 
missioners may  proceed  and  cause  such  different  kind  of  pave- 
ment to  be  laid.  In  all  cases  of  repavement  the  said  board  shall 
proceed  according  to  the  provisions  of  this  act. 

§  3.  Whenever  the  said  Commissioners  shall  deem  it  neces- 
sary to  alter  or  change  the  plan  of  drainage  and  sewerage  in 
any  district  where  the  same  has  been  established  as  the  perma- 
nent plan  of  sewerage  in  such  district,  it  shall  be  lawful  tor  the 
said  Commissioners  to  prepare  a  plan  of  such  proposed  altera- 
tion and  change,  and  proceed  in  relation  thereto  in  the  same 
manner  as  provided  by  law  for  the  establishment  of  the  origi- 
nal plan,  and,  when  established,  file  copies  of  such  altered  plan 
in  the  office  of  the  Street  Commissioner  of  said  city,  and  in  the 
office  of  the  Register  of  the  County  of  Kings,  and  thereupon 
such  alteration  shall  be  established  as  a  part  of  the  permanent 
plan  of  sewerage  of  the  city. 

§  4.  The  said  Board  of  Commissioners  shall  have  power  to 
cause  Vanderbilt  avenue,  as  recently  widened  between  Atlantic 
avenue  and  Prospect  Park,  to  be  repaved ;  and  also  to  cause 
Atlantic  avenue,  between  Flatbush  avenue  and  Classon  avenue, 
to  be  repaved,  and  the  provisions  of  the  said  act  as  hereby 
amended  shall  apply  to  such  repavements.  The  Board  of 
Assessors  of  the  City  of  Brooklyn  may  determine  what,  if  any 
portion  of  the  expense  of  the  repaving  of  Atlantic  avenue^  as 
aforesaid,  shall  be  borne  by  the  city  at  large ;  and  in  case  any 
portion  of  such  expense  shall  be  thus  assumed  by  the  city,  the 
balance  of  such  expense  shall  be  assessed  as  in  and  by  the  said 
act  as  hereby  amended  is  provided  for  the  assessment  of  the 
expense  of  repaving  streets ;  any  amount  assumed  by  the  city, 
as  aforesaid,  shall  be  levied  and  collected  in  the  next  annual 
taxes  of  the  said  city. 

§  5.  It  shall  be  the  duty  of  the  said  Commissioners  to  prepare 

36 


282 

and  submit  to  the  Common  Council  of  said  city,  at  as  early  a 
day  as  practicable,  a  plan  for  furnishing  an  increased  supply  of 
water  for  said  city,  including  such  extension  of  the  present 
works,  and  the  construction  of  such  further  reservoirs,  conduits, 
and  other  structures,  as  may  be  necessary  for  that  purpose, 
together  with  an  estimate  of  the  probable  expense  thereof.  The 
said  Common  Council  shall  examine  such  plans  and  estimates, 
and  shall  determine  what  may  be  most  expedient  for  the  object 
aforesaid  to  be  done,  and  may  adopt  such  plan,  or  any  portion 
thereof  as  it  may  deem  proper.  And  thereupon  the  said  Com- 
missioners shall  proceed  to  carry  such  determination  into  effect, 
as  provided  by  this  act.  They  shall  acquire  in  the  name  of  the 
said  city  the  title  to  such  lands,  ponds  and  streams  as  may  be 
necessary,  but  before  any  purchase  shall  be  made  thereof  by 
them,  they  shall  report  the  terms  and  conditions  to  the  said 
Common  Council  and  obtain  its  approval  thereof.  Upon  the 
approval  by  said  Common  Council  of  the  before  mentioned 
provisions,  the  said  Commissioners  shall  cause  said  work  to  be 
done,  and  shall  employ  proper  persons  to  inspect  the  same. 

§  6.  The  provisions  of  the  act  to  incorporate  the  Nassau 
Water  Company,  passed  April  twenty-fifth,  eighteen  hundred 
and  fifty^-five,  and  of  the  act  to  provide  for  the  supply  of  the 
City  of  Brooklyn  with  water,  passed  April  sixteenth,  eighteen 
hundred  and  fifty-nine,  for  the  acqumng  of  lands,  ponds  and 
streams  by  purchase  or  otherwise;  for  ascertaining  the  com- 
pensation to  owners  and  occupiers  of  land  or  water,  which  may 
be  taken  or  used,  and  the  payment  thereof;  for  the  issuing  of 
the  bonds  of  said  city  for  the  payment  of  the  expenses  authori- 
zed by  this  act ;  for  the  levying  by  tax  on  the  taxable  property 
in  said  city,  the  amounts  necessary  to  pay  such  bonds  and  the 
interest  thereon  as  it  shall  become  due ;  for  the  sale  of  such 
bonds,  and  for  the  pledge  of  the  property  of  the  said  city  for 
the  payment  of  such  bonds,  are  hereby  adopted  as  a  part  of  this 
act,  so  far  as  they  can  be  made  applicable  to  the  purposes 
hereof. 

§  7.  The  said  Commissioners  are  hereby  authorized  to  repave 
Lafayette  avenue,  between  Flatbush  avenue  and  Bedford  ave- 
nue in  said  city,  with  such  pavement  as  a  plurality  of  the  pro- 
perty  owners  may  petition  for. 

§  8.  The  said  board  may  appoint  a  secretary  who  shall  per- 
form all  the  duties,  and  be  possessed  of  all  the  powers  of  the 
present  secretary  of  said  board,  save  and  except  his  vote  as  a 
Commissioner  of  said  board,  and  shall  fix  his  pay  and  compen- 
sation. He  shall  give  bonds  for  the  faithful  performance  of  his 
duties  as  such  officer  in  the  same  amount  and  manner  as  pre- 
scribed by  law  for  the  Commissioners  now  in  office. 

§  9.  This  act  shall  take  effect  immediately. 


263 

The  annual  report  of  the  Commissioners  presents  an  elabor- 
ate detail  of  the  receipts,  disbursements,  and  operations  of  the 
Board  during  the  last  year.  The  following  extracts  are  deem- 
ed sufficient  for  general  reference : 

RECEIPTS. 

Regular  rates $387,427.14 

Extra 173,019.97 

Water  permits,  less  paid  tappers 4,205.10 

Defaults •  •  •  • 18,095.04 


1582,747.25 
Less  difference  in  advertising  account 19.20 


Net  receipts $582,656.05 

Being  a  decrease  of  receipts  compared  with  the  report  of  Jan- 
uary 1st,  1869,  of  $35,330  27.  This  decrease  is  accounted  for 
in  the  fact  that  during  the  year  1868  the  revenue  was  swelled 
by  the  payment  of  arrearages  which  followed  advertisements  of 
sales,  and  the  receipts  from  sales  for  water  rents  for  the  years 
1859, 1860, 1861, 1862  and  1863.  The  increase  of  revenue  for  the 
year  1868,  over  that  of  the  preceding  year,  1867,  was  about 
eighty-nine  thousand  dollars,  ($89,000  00.)  This  was  largely 
in  excess,  fifty  thousand  ($50,000)  or  more  over  and  above  the 
natural  and  legitimate  increase.  By  comparing  with  the  Sched- 
ule of  previous  years,  it  will  be  seen  that  the  receipts  are 
steadily  increasing,  and,  in  our  opinion,  might  be  augmented  in 
no  slight  degree  by  a  thorough  and  systematic  survey  of  the 
whole  City,  so  as  to  embrace  every  new  building,  and  all  and 
everything  subject  to  an  extra  or  special  rate. 

PAVING. 

The  public  mind  has  been  much  exercised  on  this  question 
of  paving,  and  the  various  plans  proposed  have  all  received 
careful  attention  and  investigation,  but  their  great  number,  and 
the  slight  difference  observable  in  many  of  them  has  prevented 
the  only  satisfactory  test  of  theii'  relative  merits,  viz.:  a  practi- 
cal trial  on  the  street. 

A  few  of  the  most  prominent  and  best  recommended  plans 
have  been  put  into  execution  in  all  cases  where  it  was  possible, 
in  accordance  with  the  wishes  of  the  majority  of  the  property 
holders,  but  sufficient  time  has  not  elapsed  to  justify  the  ex- 
pression of  an  opinion  as  to  their  respective  merits  in  this  local- 
ity. 

For  the  plan  of  wood-pavement  which  we  have  put  down, 
we  have  the  large  experience  of  other  cities  in  favor  of  its  use-

fulness,  and  neither  the  work  nor  the  materials  are  secondary 
to  any  with  which  we  are  acquainted. 

All  the  concrete  pavements,  as  will  be  seen  in  the  Schedule, 
are  for  short  distances,  avowedly  as  an  experiment,  in  all  cases 
at  the  expense  of  the  patentee,  with  the  exception  of  the 
Scrimshaw,  which  was  so  highly  recommended  by  the  results 
as  shown  in  nearly  two  years'  service  in  Prospect  Park,  that 
we  could  not  call  it  an  experiment,  and  thus  far  it  has  proved 
highly  satisfactory  to  the  traveling  public — as  well  as  to  the 
property  owners.  Brooklyn  has  heretofore  been  regarded  as 
one  of  the  worst  paved  cities  of  the  Union.  We  have  every 
reason  to  believe  that  the  extension  of  the  principle  on  which 
we  have  acted,  viz.:  first  to  provide  for  improved  f)avements 
upon  the  main  thoroughfares  from  Fulton,  Wall,  South  and 
Hamilton  ferries,  and  secondly,  the  main  connections  between 
these  lines,  will  if  extended  to  the  other  leading  ferries,  result 
in  an  improvement  second  in  interest  to  no  other  tending  to 
the  prosperity  of  the  city. 

Total  length  paved  this  season  12i  miles,  viz.:  of  Nicolson, 
4 if u miles;  Miller,  Ii^tt;  Scrimshaw,  li^o^o;  Belgian,  liVo;  Im- 
proved Belgian,  iVo ;  and  Cobble  Stone,  4i§o  miles. 

THE   CLEANING   AND   KEPAIBING   OF    STREETS. 

Under  the  law  reorganizing  the  Board,  passed  last  year,  the 
power  over  cleaning  and  repairing  of  the  streets  of  the  city 
was  vested  in  our  body.  The  amount  appropriated  for  these 
purposes  was  the  same  as  in  former  years,  and  is  believed  to  be 
exceedingly  moderate.  In  the  prosecution  of  our  ordinary 
business,  the  necessity  for  breaking  the  surface  of  the  streets 
occurs  so  frequently  that  it  seems  desirable  that  entire  respon- 
sibility for  the  condition  of  the  streets  should  be  in  this  Board. 
In  the  department  of  repairs  the  utmost  economy  has  been  ex- 
ercised, and  under  the  direction  of  the  Board,  a  list  of  the  loca- 
tion and  cost  of  each  repair  made  has  been  published  monthly 
in  the  local  journals.  No  complaint  that  the  cost  has  not  been 
reasonable  has  reached  us.  Very  much  has  been  done,  and 
what  has  been  done  was  done  promptly.  It  seems  to  be  con- 
ceded that  the  streets  of  the  city  are  in  better  condition  to-day 
than  they  have  ever  been,  and  with  the  same  amount  of  atten- 
tion given  to  this  depai'tment  for  a  few  years,  the  streets  of  the 
entire  city  can  be  placed  in  good  condition. 

The  reasons  which  were  urged  in  giving  the  repah'ing  of  the 
streets  of  the  city  to  this  Board  are  equally  applicable  to  street 
cleaning.  The  system  of  giving  out  the  contracts  for  street 
cleaning  by  wards  has  been  adhered  to,  but  it  is  questionable 
if  greater  efficiency  and  more  direct  accountability  could  not  be 


265 

secured  by  dividing  the  city  into  convenient  districts  and  let- 
ting the  contracts  in  that  way.  Under  the  old  plan  and  with  a 
vigilant  inspectorship  a  satisfactory  efficiency  seems  however  to 
have  been  reached.  A  complaint-book  has  been  placed  on  file 
in  our  office,  and  through  this,  grievances  and  inattention  com- 
plained of  by  citizens  ai'e  remedied  daily.  It  is  probable  the 
streets  ai'e  not  in  as  cleanly  a  condition  at  all  times  as  the  more 
public-spirited  class  of  our  people  desire  that  they  should  be ; 
but  it  is  reasonably  certain  there  is  an  improvement  within  the 
past  year  in  this  regard,  and  it  can  be  confidently  asserted 
that  no  efibrt  has  been  spared  by  the  two  inspectors  employ- 
ed, to  see  that  the  city  received  a  dollar's  worth  of  work  for 
every  dollar  expended.
